Chapter 113 Something Happened

Imogen followed Troy as they walked out of the interrogation room and crossed paths with Lucas. Troy nodded at Lucas and patted his shoulder. “I’m leaving this to you. We’ll head back first.”

“Sure.”

Imogen nodded toward Lucas.

Imogen wasn’t familiar with Lucas, but she knew that Lucas was the top lawyer in Marshall Group Legal Department and was well–known throughout New York City.

His

presence was likely related to handling the matters regarding leaked confidential information, and getting her out seemed like a secondary concern.

“Let’s go.” Troy turned around and glanced at Imogen.

Imogen lowered her gaze and followed behind Troy. “Didn’t you say you would stay in Paris for two days? How come you’re back so soon?”

Troy’s gaze was profound as he wrapped his arm around her waist and chuckled, “You’re asking me now? Were you really planning to spend the night in there?”

Two days was just a rough estimate. Troy got on the plane once things had been taken care of. After landing, his mobile phone was turned on, and there were missed calls and text messages from Lane, ensuring he could see them when he got off the plane.

After learning the situation, Troy immediately asked the driver to divert to the police station, and he contacted Lucas.

Imogen pressed her lips together. “Mr. Johnson said those things in front of so many employees. There is nothing I can do…”

Unless she revealed their marital relationship in public.

“You’re so stubborn.” Troy criticized. “You could have called grandpa, uncle, or even Leo. They could have ensured your release.”

In today’s situation, if it were anyone else, they would have been out and about by now. Only Imogen would have stayed in there obediently.

She was clearly in the circle of celebrities, yet had a heart that yearned to be ordinary.

Such a status would attract attention no matter what kind of movement or action occurred.

When she first joined the company, many whispered behind her back that she had used connections to get in. So, over these years, she had worked exceptionally hard to dispel those rumors and prove herself.

Imogen fell silent momentarily, wanting to ask Troy how he would react if she publicly announced her relationship with him at the company.

The words were on the tip of her tongde, but she didn’t say them.

His attitude was apparent. He blamed her for not finding someone to get her out rather than blaming her for not publicly revealing the truth to prevent the possibility of being taken to the police station in the first place.

Imogen changed the subject and asked, “The person who leaked the confidential information, has he been found?”

“It’s been confirmed, don’t worry.”
